PEONIES 
FROM 
Richards Gardens 
‘Old Homestead Brand’ 
Growers of Peonies for Twenty-Three Years 
We want to say just a word about the quality of Rich¬ 
ards’ Peonies. We send out, as always, nice clean roots, 
three to five eye divisions. All from two and three year 
old clumps. You will find no clubby stock in our peonies and 
we guarantee them true to name. 
Our digging time starts September 1st, but unless you 
specify a shi'pping date they will not be shipped until after 
September 15th, as after that time the eyes are better and 
stronger ard it is really better to wait until that time, unless 
you must have them before. 
Where ten of a kind are ordered, an extra root will be 
added. 
We are giving the rating on the peonies and you will note 
that there are many in this list that rate nine or better and 
only in one or two instances are they below eight. We are 
very proud of this list and know you will be pleased with the 
offerings we make this year. 
OUR GUARANTEE—We exercise great care in keeping our 
varieties true to name and will replace any variety that 
proves untrue two years from date of sale. 
Peonies To Color 
We have, every year, an accumulation of peonies to color 
but unnamed. These are from our regular stock, and you 
might get a $3.00 peony among these mixed varieties. White 
20c each; Pink, 20c each and Red 20c each. Not less than 
five of these will be filled on an order, or we will furnish 
6 RED MIXED 
6 PINK MIXED 
6 WHITE MIXED 
Gentlemen: 
Last March I ordered several dozen plants from your adv. in 
Wie February Flower Grower. To say I was pleased would be put¬ 
ting it mildv. I expected weakly little seedlings and thought I 
might save 2'or ^ of each kind and thus be ahead of the game for I 
have lost so many 7v5c and $1.00 plants. But when I saw those nice 
plants with such a nice root system, I couldn’t believe it.

I received my plants, they are out and growing nicely. I 
can’t say enough about them. They are the finest plants I have 
ever seen.
